A teacher, a learner, a speaker, a listener, a dad, a son, a granddad, a grandson, a husband, a bride, a warrior, a peacemaker, a slave, alive, adopted, appalled, apart, a part, and amazed. I often see God in the most unexpected places, from dryer lint to my own heart.

I live in Gambrills, Maryland with my wife Patti. Although my tent-making trade is software engineering my passion is sharing stories about life with all who might hear. With my poems and stories I invite the reader and listener on a journey to the one thing, the only thing, that truly matters. You can read some of my poetry here.

“As a child I was deathly afraid of the dark.
I would frequently hide from the dark under my covers
with my music blaring and my eyes closed.
The absurdity of it all never really sunk in–
I was hiding in the dark from the dark!

No longer afraid of the dark,
I now enjoy a healthy fear of the light.”
